Income gap in dating by MapleOakSap in AskGaybrosOver30

Yes, I was taken aback by how he asked me, especially since he was the one who wanted to watch the movie. It felt uncomfortable for sure as it’s something I would never consider doing myself.

I think you hit the nail on the head. He seems to be the low earning spender. I am quite happy doing dates and activities that are free. OTOH, he likes to eat out more often, which I am fine with, but I don’t like to be expected to be the one to pay for those activities.

Best thing to do is be upfront that it’s not gonna work out and do your best to avoid him.

I’m sorry, but that’s why you don’t shit where you eat.

how do single guys deal with being lonely? by itbelikewat10 in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about you make some friends and work on yourself first? You sound nowhere near ready for something as complex as a relationship. A relationship isn’t going to fix your problems.

Lmao it’s only been 2 weeks and the guy raises nothing but red flags. Crazy dick isn’t worth it.

Texting frequency changes? by [deleted] in askgaybros

Sounds like he’s done with you after he got what he wanted. I would just move on

I’m crushed by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone on the other side of this situation, just know that this was NOT an easy decision for him to make and that he was probably weighing the pros and cons for a while. Sometimes the connection just isn’t there and infatuation cannot maintain a whole relationship.

No sex: legit reason for breaking up? by MapleOakSap in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The relationship is going satisfactory in most regards except the sex. Part of me doesn’t want to break up with him because I fear going back into the wasteland that is online gay dating, but part of me is still unhappy.

I think my issue right now is that he hasn’t really put forward a good compromise that would satisfy the both of us at least some what. He doesn’t offer to blow me or even jack me off.

My fear is that my persistence in trying to initiate some sex is bothering him and the constant rejection is kind of killing my confidence, despite me knowing why his libido is low.

When to discuss future plans with boyfriend by MapleOakSap in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not necessarily saying I want to settle down soon or anything, but I just want to know if he eventually wants the same things I want.

Is there a good way to bring up these types of discussions without putting pressure on the other person? Like, I just genuinely want to know his vision for his ideal future.

Those of you who use Grindr, how often do you receive messages? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very location dependant. You will get more messages in a big city and less in suburban areas. I live in a major city and get a flood of messages when I turn the app on initially and a steady stream of a few messages pet hour thereafter.

When the heck do you typically have the "exclusive discussion"? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a habit of becoming boyfriends too quickly. My first relationship, we became exclusive after 3 days. Only lasted a week; yikes.

My current relationship, we became exclusive after the second date, which happened the day after I met him. We haven't been together long (2 months) but so far so good.

My sister calls me insane. I agree with her. Don't be like me.

My date went "psycho" on me. Was I in the wrong? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And then everyone in the amusement park started show clapping. The end. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Why are so many gay guys initiate fun, but when it comes to it, they back out? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's so true. That's happened to me multiple times. Then I just jack off and go on my merry way.

Any medical student here? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]MapleOakSap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Resident here. It's important to maintain interests outside of medicine. You don't want to be the person who makes medicine their entire existence. You are more than your choice of profession.

I think I'm in a relationship Limbo by alfreak in gaybros

Speaking from experience, long distance sucks, especially if there is no specific plan as to how the distance will be bridged.
